Windows Tasks Plugin: Folder based Monitoring Configuration

With the native Windows Task plugin in Checkmk, it is currently only possible to monitor all tasks, except for excluding the default Microsoft folder.

It would be very helpful if it were possible to monitor only a specific folder instead. This way, tasks in the root folder would not be included, which is important because many automatically created Microsoft tasks reside there and usually do not require monitoring.

Using rules to disable unwanted tasks is not an ideal solution, especially in larger environments with more than 10,000 hosts. This approach would result in a large number of disabled services, making the monitoring configuration harder to manage and less transparent.

A possible solution could be to introduce an inclusion-based filtering mechanism (maybe by folder path or regex), allowing administrators to explicitly define which task folders should be monitored. This would greatly improve scalability, reduce noise, and simplify rule management in large environments.
